Abstract
Iodophor powders are prepared by suspending a particulate iodophor-forming polymer in an iodine solution in which the polymer is insoluble, and adding to the suspension a solution of an iodide in a solvent system miscible with the solvent of the iodine solution, to cause the formation of an iodophor. The iodophor can be separated from the solvent by filtration.
